ECS champions members and their research

When the rock group Queen sang “We are the champions of the world,” they could have been describing ECS members.

“Science and scientists are absolutely vital to solving health issues and climate change—the grand challenges confronting society. The ECS community—scientists and engineers, students and postdocs, young and old minds—has a great role to play in solving these problems.”
